On his waist, the Minghong Saber emitted a series of humming sounds. Er Zhu stood on the treetop, his gaze icy as he stared at the Gu poison master.
This Gu poison master was formidable, but to Er Zhu, he was nothing.
"Can't wait any longer? Then go."
The humming of the Minghong Saber grew louder. Er Zhu lowered his head, looking at the saber and speaking.
*Whoosh...*
As if receiving a command, the Minghong Saber shot towards the Gu poison master!
The Gu poison master walked slowly forward. Suddenly, he felt a sound behind him. Turning his head, he saw a broken saber, its edge dulled!
He somersaulted to dodge it swiftly. At the same time, Er Zhu descended from the treetop!
"What? How is this possible!"
Seeing Er Zhu standing before him unharmed, the Gu poison master's eyes were filled with shock!
He had thought Er Zhu was still locked in a fierce battle with the dead warrior puppets, never imagining he had already evaded them!
After all, this was the result of five years of joint research by thirteen world-renowned Gu poison masters. To think Wang Er Zhu could evade it!
"Fine, so what if you dodged? You'll die anyway!"
Amidst his shock, the Gu poison master's fury erupted. With a sweep of his hand, thirteen Gu poison masters rushed out from the nearby bushes!
"Kill!"
Without any preamble, the Gu poison master shouted, and all the Gu poison masters unleashed their most potent Gu techniques towards Er Zhu!
They were the world's most formidable Gu poison masters, and they would absolutely not be disgraced in front of outsiders!
*Whoosh...*
But at this moment, the Minghong Saber turned and flew back from a distance. Within a few breaths, six Gu poison masters had fallen!
"What?"
Looking at the fallen Gu poison masters, the remaining ones' eyes were filled with shock and terror!
They had anticipated that Wang Er Zhu might kill them, but to do so to six of them so stealthily was something they could never have imagined!
Moreover, the dead Gu poison masters' eyes were filled with rage, proving they hadn't even realized how they died!
This Wang Er Zhu was truly terrifying. No wonder Mu Linxiao and the others had set up so many traps!
*Whoosh...*
The Minghong Saber continued to fly rapidly towards the other Gu poison masters. Just as they were about to beg for mercy, they saw the saber and decided to fight to the death!
"Wang Er Zhu, it's just a broken saber, it can't kill us!"
"Big brother, stop talking nonsense with him. Let's control that short blade together and make Wang Er Zhu die by his own saber!"
"Die!"
...
Accompanied by bursts of shouting, gases of various colors filled the air!
Along with the gases, strangely shaped Gu worms flew out from the sky or the ground, charging directly at Er Zhu!
And Er Zhu, he remained standing calmly in his spot, as if none of this concerned him!
*Whoosh whoosh whoosh...*
An afterimage flashed by, and another six Gu poison masters collapsed on the ground!
Blood gushed from the wounds on their necks, and a heavy scent of blood permeated the air!
As the Gu poison masters died, the various gases and Gu worms exploded.
Finally, only a thick black mist and a type of lizard-like Gu worm remained.
And the only surviving Gu poison master was the one Er Zhu had first encountered.
"I... I surrender, please don't kill me!"
Looking at the twelve corpses scattered about, then at the blood on the Minghong Saber, the Gu poison master quickly retracted his hand and knelt down in fear, begging for mercy.
He still had many things to accomplish; he couldn't die!
"I... I was also forced. Mu Linxiao forced me to cooperate with her, otherwise, she would have killed me!"
Seeing Er Zhu remain silent, the Gu poison master seemed to recall something and quickly added.
"Mhm."
*Whoosh...*
Er Zhu said nothing, only grunting a single word from his throat. Just as the Gu poison master was about to beg for mercy again, the Minghong Saber sliced across his neck!
Instantly, blood spurted out like a fountain. The Gu poison master fell heavily to the ground, his round head rolling far away.
In an instant, the entire sky fell silent, so quiet one could hear a pin drop!
Er Zhu cast a disdainful glance at the last Gu poison master to die and slowly walked towards the abandoned factory.
He had initially considered letting this last Gu poison master go, but this person harbored a desire for revenge. Er Zhu had no time to waste on such a minor figure!
*Whoosh!*
Having completed its mission, the Minghong Saber swiftly flew back into its sheath, the bloodstains on the sheath dripping down.
Meanwhile, inside the abandoned factory.
Mu Linxiao and the others stared in shock at the surveillance footage on the computer screen.
They had witnessed everything that had just transpired. They knew Er Zhu was powerful, but they never imagined he was *that* powerful!
The traps they had meticulously planned for so long were all broken by Wang Er Zhu in less than an hour, and now, he was about to arrive here!
Mu Linxiao's hands trembled as she held the computer, fine beads of cold sweat appearing on her forehead!
He was here?
And he had arrived completely unharmed!
But they, they had lost so much...
"What should we do, Linxiao? If Wang Er Zhu comes, we will surely die!"
"No, I don't want to die!"
"He's too terrifying, Wang Er Zhu... is he truly just a mortal?"
...
The more Mu Linxiao thought about it, the angrier she became, her entire body trembling. The other Mu family descendants, upon seeing the surveillance video, had eyes filled with shock and fear!
"Don't panic. Each of you take one of Wang Er Zhu's friends hostage. I don't believe Wang Er Zhu won't yield!"
Seeing everyone's panicked state, Mu Linxiao's eyes darted around, and she thought of a good idea.
The people she had captured were all Wang Er Zhu's closest friends. As long as they were here, they would not die!
Hearing Mu Linxiao's words, the Mu family descendants seemed to recall something, and they all ran towards Li Mei and the others.
By the time Er Zhu arrived, each Mu family descendant was holding one of his friends hostage, and Mu Linxiao was holding Li Mei!
"Wang Er Zhu, hand over all your assets to me, otherwise, we will kill them!"
Seeing Er Zhu, Mu Linxiao suppressed her anger, cast a triumphant glance at the people behind her, her eyes filled with threat.
What good would it do him to fight his way here?
Wang Er Zhu's goal was to save these people, but he would never succeed!
"Er Zhu, hurry and leave! We... we are not worth dying for!"
Just as Er Zhu was about to speak, the villagers of Shiliu Village, led by Old Man Liu, shouted angrily.
Shiliu Village was now the foremost village in China, all thanks to Er Zhu. Now that Er Zhu was in trouble, it was their time to repay him!
"Hurry and go, child. We are all old, we won't live much longer anyway, but you must live well!"
Seeing Er Zhu hesitate, the elder, Old Man Liu, sighed, his eyes moist, and waved at Er Zhu.
All his wishes had been fulfilled now; he would consider it worth dying for!
